A Man with an Appetite.

There is funny little old man in Essex,
Mass, who is always eating. Three
meals day are only an aggravation to
his appetite. He will rise at 2 O'Clock
in the morning and eat slice of meat,
some eggs, several pieces of bread, cut
of ham and perhaps few potatoes.
At seven o'clock he eats hearty break
fast. At he has another. About 10
he begins to grow hungry again. And
so, like an ayenging Nemesis, hunger
chases him day and night. He is al
ways craving food, and yet more than
one reputable physician says the man
is perfectly well.-Boston Transcript.
